Cosmetic Dental Crowns

CROWNS CAN BE THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR SOME COSMETIC APPLICATIONS.

Crowns can make the tooth/teeth strong and will last for many years while enhancing your smile and chewing ability. They can be completed in as little as two office visits and be made of many different materials depending on the application and desired result.

Because the enamel has to be completely removed for a crown application, we prefer to use a more conservative porcelain veneer for cosmetic applications. However, if your teeth are worn, broken or decayed we recommend restorative porcelain crowns for proper treatment. Dr. McOmie prefers to use superior BruxZir® Solid Zirconia crowns over crowns made of porcelain fused to metal.

The BruxZir® Solid Zirconia crowns we use are much more aesthetically pleasing and over time do not reveal the unattractive black line at the gumline. The crown will not stain or change color and can be made to match the light-transmitting qualities of natural teeth. The BruxZir® Solid Zirconia crown is very strong and are backed by Glidewell Dental Lab’s seven-year free replacement warranty.

Your Crown Options

FULL PORCELAIN

Full porcelain crowns are very esthetic, the most beautiful crown, but also one of the weakest materials. Excellent choice for front teeth.

ZIRCONIA FUSED TO PORCELAIN

Zirconia fused to porcelain is a very strong material and beautiful as well, can be used in all areas of the mouth.

FULL ZIRCONIA

BruxZir® Solid Zirconia crowns are the strongest metal free crown on the market. They are milled using CAD/CAM technology.

PORCELAIN FUSED TO GOLD

Strong and pretty these are the most common “tooth colored” crowns. This material has a proven track second over decades.

GOLD CROWNS

A crown made of this material can easily last decades. Most people don’t like the look of a gold crown so their popularity is fading. Some people still choose them in areas that can’t be seen easily.
